    Admitting the Dawn ...


    I love my new room, I love my Princess bed, my thick purple comforter, and my eastern facing window.  I love that gentle light through the window in the morning.


    I'm working a lot this week, have I mentioned that already?  My boss' husband is home on a two week leave from his deployment to Kuwait.  So understandably, she is taking vacation.  And even though I'm working LONG hours, it's okay with me because this was my LAST promise to fulfill before I leave this job.  I told her in February that I wouldn't go before she had her vacation with her husband.  Yeah, I gave that much notice. 


    I should also end up this week with close to 16 hours of OT.  At the wage I am paid that's not nearly enough money to compensate for how tired I'll be, but that's okay.  I'm not relieving her for the money. 


    Saturday evening I leave for Iowa.  The Summer Writing Festival at the University of Iowa is something I've looked forward to for the past 365 days since the last one ended.  This year I'm taking a class called "Postcards from Gods and Goddesses" that I am very excited about.  My friends have suggested more than once that aspects of my life are worth writing about.  It will be fun to play for a week at doing just that.


    I'm still unpacking although the pile of boxes is shrinking.  Last night I only unpacked a small plastic bag of refrigerator magnets ...




    There are more magnets for the freezer, they are meant to hold the kids' artwork so I'm saving them. 


    Then I took photos of the rainbow outside.  It was a wonderful rare complete bow with the Northern foot touching the roof of Best Buy and the Southern foot ... well, let me show you.  The photos are a little dark, but I think you'll get the idea.
